Screen resolution of 1136x640 Why on earth would they go 144x80 pixels shy of 720p, 1280x720? Hasn't the world suffered enough from transcoding? So the eye sees your perfect DPI, but the pixels are going to be imperfect because it's a rando

At first glance the idea of "code that writes code" sounds so advanced and high tech but once you see generated source you want to puke. E.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/malclassifier.adobe/files/Ad... I daydream of a programming lang

This is a political piece on a political issue. Solar/wind energy isn't new or hacker newsy more than building a house is. I'd love to further express my opinion on the subject, this just isn't the place for it. No matter how hard you spin

That floating share button really obscured the main article text on my android. How about a close button for that annoying little thing?

Does this mean the sequence isn't random? Or is there a CSS trick for randomizing?
